1755 in the direction of the home

Despite the lack of a-for-tat spark, the official press day is still full of spotlights, just like last year's Super Bowl, this year's Super Bowl is also full of curses waiting to be broken – or waiting to play – or waiting to work:

No quarterback in history has been able to lead two different teams to the top, so can Payton Manning break the spell?

No team in the league has been able to defend the title since 2005; Even in the history of nearly half a century, only seven teams, including the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers, have completed the title, so can the San Francisco 49ers become the first team in the past decade and the second in history to defend the title?

The Denver Broncos will be the home team in the Super Bowl, opting for their home orange jersey, while the San Francisco 49ers automatically opted for the away white jersey – the Denver Broncos have been in the Super Bowl six times before, but three of those games in orange have ended in defeat, so what about this time? Also, before last year, the team wearing the white jersey had won the Super Bowl for nine consecutive years, and it was the Red San Francisco 49ers who broke the winning streak in the white jersey last year, so what will be the results this year?

In addition, although Lu Ke broke a series of curses with an absolutely strong attitude last year: the season code king curse, the regular season MVP curse, etc., but the law of the league still exists objectively, can this year's Peyton Manning continue to break the curse?

In addition, according to the weather forecast, this is likely to become the coldest Super Bowl in history, from the historical data of Big Manning, it can be seen that his record in December and January has declined significantly, especially the low temperature and bad weather, although in the 2006 season Super Bowl final stage, Big Manning defeated the Chicago Bears in a bad rain battle, won his first championship ring, but Big Manning's quarterback rating is only 81.8, which can only be regarded as a decent, which will also become a highlight of the Super Bowl.

This season, Big Manning completed a wonderful game in December's continuous low temperature, and fought back strongly, which also made the Super Bowl full of more highlights.

However, the negative effects of the bad weather lingered, and by the time the San Francisco 49ers acclimatized to the venue, the temperature had dropped to 11 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 degrees Celsius) on Tuesday. On Wednesday's official media day, the temperature was still just 15 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 9 degrees), and the game could have been even worse, and the Blizzard alert caused the league to activate emergency procedures, and ESPN was the first to report the "possibility of canceling the game".

Last but not least:

Bambi, the San Francisco 49ers have been to the Super Bowl six times and have maintained a 100 percent championship rate, and are now tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most championships. What are your thoughts on this? Did the team make special preparations? Will these history-making possibilities become pressure? ”

"Ha, such a scene is somewhat familiar, I seem to have seen it last year." Lu Ke chuckled, and made a joke at his fingertips: Last year, because of various "spells", reporters superimposed pressure on Lu Ke layer by layer, "I mean, pressure will always exist, this is the Super Bowl, isn't it?" You're the same, you're racking your brains to create focus and topics, and stress is no different for you and me. ”

Most of the reporters couldn't help it; A few reporters rolled their eyes speechlessly: Since you know that we are under pressure, you are still deliberately making things difficult for us?

"But pressure can also be a motivator, so I don't think that's a problem." Lu Ke replied lightly, "As for the 100% win rate, I now finally know why this season is so difficult, not only because of the title defense, but also because the pressure of six games is superimposed invisibly, ...... I've now finally found the source of the team's injuries, which is a relief. ”

The witty and humorous joking tone made many reporters chuckle.

Then, Lu Ke changed his words and continued, "To be honest, if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have known about it at all, for me, this is the second Super Bowl, and it is also a new game, a new opponent, we have to prepare from scratch, everything is new, and the win rate can't help." All my thoughts right now are on this next race, and the Denver Broncos are a great opponent, so let's put it aside for the time being. ”

Even if Lu Ke's answer is not leaky, the reporter is still unwilling to let Lu Ke go, "So, if you win the seventh Super Bowl trophy that made history for the San Francisco 49ers, how do you feel?" ”

"I'll tell you when I do." Lu Ke didn't hesitate, and directly hit back with a word of ridicule.

There was a burst of laughter, but it quickly calmed down. Although the reporters were a little disappointed, they also knew that what Lu Ke said was the truth.

For the Denver Broncos, they have their own spells and pressures; For the San Francisco 49ers, they also have their own goals and records, and they are all trying to set records, and they will set records together, all of which make this Super Bowl matchup skyrocketing.

After the official press day, there will be corresponding official publicity activities, and Lu Ke, as the focus of this game, naturally cannot be easily absent.

When the whole day of activities was over, Lu Ke only felt that countless flashes were flashing in his eyes, and even his ears could catch the noise of tinnitus, and the whole world showed the mysteries and bumps of the world.

The San Francisco 49ers stayed at the Westin Hotel in New Jersey, while the Denver Broncos stayed at the nearby Marriott Hotel, and both teams contracted the entire hotel, with some guests staying until Wednesday but only the team's own insiders after Thursday.

"Welcome home. Mr. Lu. Lu Ke stepped down from the official car of the alliance, and the doorman greeted him with a smile, "You have a visitor waiting at the bar on the first floor." ”

Visitor?

Lu Ke wanted to ask who it was, but at this time, his brain was groggy and filled with countless flashing lights and noises, and he really didn't bother to think about it; Moreover, standing at the door of the hotel, the cold wind was still blowing like a knife, and the numb and stiff head urgently needed to go indoors to rest and relax.

So, Lu Ke nodded, didn't say anything, and went straight into the hotel lobby.

The hotel lobby, which is always crowded and noisy, presents a quiet and peaceful appearance at this time, the quiet and warm atmosphere makes the stiff muscles relax slightly, but the tired brain still refuses to think, just wants to completely relax, and then completely rest for the night.

After briefly identifying the direction, Lu Ke walked in the direction of the bar next to the lobby.

Entering the bar, Lu Ke saw Kip Kleist and Craig Roman and others next to the bar at a glance, as well as several players such as Patrick Willis and David Akens, the whole bar was filled with a comfortable and relaxed mood, and the tense muscles and heartstrings were relaxed.

Alcohol and going out were forbidden in preparation for the Super Bowl, but the pressure on players and coaches alike to relax was the perfect place to go, as manager Trent Balk had made a deal with the hotel that the bartender would not be allowed to serve spirits, only beer and cocktails — and that it would be limited, allowing Trent to be the first to control the situation inside the team.

After a long day of interviews and campaigns, it's time for everyone to relax.

Lu Ke stood at the door of the bar, but suddenly he was a little confused, he actually forgot the purpose of his appearance here, and was stunned for a moment, only then did he recall that he found the waiter who was waiting at the door at any time, and after explaining his intention, the waiter led the way in front and led Lu Ke to find the visitor.

From a distance, Lu Ke recognized the figure, his long silky hair was curled high, the white T-shirt and blue jeans were dressed without any superfluous decoration, he was busy with something at this time, there were a lot of cardboards, highlighters and handmade tools on the table, his face was immersed in the matter of making things, and he looked a little out of place in the atmosphere of the whole bar, but she was not disturbed at all.

It's Candace Swanepour.

Lu Ke signaled that the waiter could leave, he didn't rush forward, just stood not far away, quietly watching Candace, she seemed to be busy making support cards, and her concentrated expression seemed to be busy with the most important work in the world, which made Lu Ke's eyes can't help but be gentle.

Although the busy season of the four major fashion weeks is about to kick off, Candace is still by his side.

Even if Lu Ke was busy preparing for the battle, even if Lu Ke was distracted because of the tactical manual, and even if they got along day and night and had no time to communicate, Candace still quietly waited for his position, completely ignoring New York, which was just fifteen minutes away by car, as long as Lu Ke stopped and turned around, he could see Candace's figure at any time and tell him that it was the location of home.

Family.

It turns out that that is the definition of home, no matter wandering to the ends of the earth, no matter what storms are encountered, as long as you look back, you can find the home, always unswervingly waiting behind you, that is the safest and warmest corner in the world, leaving a light for yourself to guide the way forward.

The creamy lights of the bar fall on Candace's face, outlining a warm silhouette that casts on the walls, depicting the appearance of home.
